Hello, I just installed openSUSE 13.1 with xfce as the wm, and YaST2 starts up, but none of the items work when I click on them. Also, the install/remove software part of YaST2 does not even run. I tried running it in a terminal, but it didn’t run, and no error messages or anything were displayed. How can I fix this?

Try launching software manager using below command
su -c '/sbin/yast2 sw_single'

I just ran that as you suggested. Nothing happened.

You have to run that in a terminal. Did you? Absolutely nothing got printed in the terminal?

Try running it in a terminal window if you haven’t - you should get some
output then.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I did run it in a terminal window, and it didn’t execute, and no output appeared at all. It just threw me back to the terminal.

Try running only “su -”. It should ask you for the password at least. If not, you have a very broken
system, or something else is very wrong.

It does ask for a password, but no output occurs when I run the command to start yast2.
How can I fix this? Would attaching the log that yast2 generates help?

Well, yes, perhaps. Upload it to susepaste.org, and paste here the link.

I uploaded it to dropbox. Here is the link: Dropbox - y2log - Simplify your life
Apparently this is your problem:
2013-12-23 06:09:34 <3> slackerd(26469) [Y2Ruby] binary/YRuby.cc(callClient):238 cannot require yast:cannot load such file -- fast_gettext at /usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
Strange enough there were at least two other persons here in the forum with the same problem. I’ll have a look if I can find the threads…
Try to re-install rubygem-fast_gettext:
sudo zypper in -f rubygem-fast_gettext
And please post, which version you have installed.
Do you have a self-compiled ruby installed or something like that?
No, it was the version that openSUSE installed.
Ok.
So, did you try to re-install rubygem-fast_gettext?
Btw, the thread I mentioned is here, re-installing that fixed the problem:
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/492723-after-installing-some-dependencies-yast-will-no-longer-launch.html
The other thread was in the german forum, the poster had a self-compiled ruby on his system which didn’t find the system components. After removing all references from $PATH (in .bashrc & .bash_profile) YaST worked again for him. That’s why I was asking about ruby.
ruby-2.0-5.1.2.i586 is what I have installed atm. I tried reinstalling that rubygem, yast still doesn’t work properly.
Hm.
Could you please post your repo list?
zypper lr -d
And the output of:
rpm -qi rubygem-fast_gettext

Hm, no idea what’s causing this then…
Maybe try to run “zypper dup”, perhaps some package didn’t get upgraded? (Or was this a fresh install? Well it’s worth a try anyway, maybe you installed some package from a different source, which is interfering)
And to be sure, check that there’s nothing ruby related in /usr/local/.
